  1. whatever u want to think...it's wrong from my point of view, to not speak the language of the country u live in...do u think if i went to any other country in the world that they would accommodate me by giving me english options...NO!...i would have to learn the language to get along...down thru time as people migrated to america...that's the first thing they wanted to do is learn english...but those that speak spanish seem to think they should be treated different...that our society should bend over backwards so that they don't have to be bothered...hmmmmm yet...at the same time we r supposed to treat everyone the same...

    lemme tell ya...if ur momma were in an accident and the first responders didn't speak spanish...think about this for a minute...cuz i've seen it happen...she's lying there with internal injuries...maybe in her belly and she can't tell them in a language they understand...the situation becomes one where the patient can't communicate...it's then all guess work...and precious minutes of treatment r lost...then she get to the emergency room and they have to wait for a translator...see what i'm saying she will be at risk by her own choice

    why is it that only the spanish speaking can't learn english...it's the only other language option given...it never says french or italian or vietnamese or hindi i guess it must be easier for those nationalities to learn english

    i'm just very confused...where is this stereotyping or racism?...it not at all...except by the people that refuse to learn the language of the country that they live in...

    I never said that Spanish is my native language - you just assumed it - isn't that stereotyping ? ...I'm from eastern europe....

  2. See a big problem with learning english is that a lot of folks aren't young any more.....when you have a person that is 50 and doesn't speak a word of english and all of a sudden they have to, chances are they will either avoid it or struggle with it very much which might depress them.......they arent teenagers any more that you can just throw any language on and they will get it without much problem (hopefully)

    As far as saying either learn the language or leave the country, that simply isn't right.  This kind of mentality has been around some folks for a long time, decades for some, but it is not currently enforced nor will it ever be....I find that kind of attitude to be very crude and unwelcoming...personally, I think that it is just as bad as stereotyping or racism

    When I came here back in 98 I really didn't speak a word of english and now its like my first language....for my parents thats another story....they came here as old folks, my dad speaks english since he was exposed to it for years while working all over the world while my mom hasnt had that kind of an exposure....she can barely speak any english now, even after almost 10 years.........its partly due to age and partly due to changes in life and depression.....is she worthy of being here ? ...hell yes, just as much as anyone that has lived here their entire lives

    enough of me babbling.....you get the idea of where I'm getting at....it just isn't logical to force people to learn something...if they want to and if they realize that they will have a better life, they will..on their own

  3. but yeah, all we need is someone to go out and buy a certain brand of this particular battery to see exactly what we are dealing with here....

    these bigger batteries are usually built for delivering a lot more current since they have smaller batteries connected in parallel...kinda like the car battery, which is only rated for 12.XX volts - the reason why its so big is because its delivering a lot of current to other electrical car parts....200A+ or something like that I think...

  4. well to build 6v with 1.5 volt batteries you need 4 of those babies connected in series ? yes ? ....i watched the video over and over again and to me it didnt appear that that big battery had 4 rows of batteries, it seemed to be 2 (4 x 4 in each row, and 2 rows = 32 total)...

    and if there are 2 rows only it would mean each battery is then 3v and not 1.5v that equals a standard AA size battery

    ....just something to consider

  5. usenet does not require invites but it is not free....i have had it for few years now and it is definitely worth the $ - it is basically a collection of newsgroups which contain files/etc.....just google usenet and it will explain everything....

    I use usenext.com although there are other subscription services as well - they have a 1 month trial so test it out :)

  6. ........I've been gone for about 2 weeks, in a way - I thought it would be very valuable that I announce my return heheh lol - went to key west for my vacation - one word: awesome !

  7. An iphone: $499

    A telephone plan: $49.99

    A data plan: $39.99

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Surgically altering your fat thumbs using a procedure referred to as whittling to be able to use a shiny new device better known as an iphone: priceless

    Visa - going where no big thumb has gone before.

    ..........dumbass

  8. I run windows xp without a paging file and everything is working properly.  To say that it increased my performance, I honestly have no idea - it's been such a long time since I did set it up that way I don't remember any more.  But it definitely has not decreased the performance either.  The way I look at it is from the theoretical point of view - what is the main purpose of the page file and whether I actually need it.  In my case answer was no.
